McAuley - is he serious?

1-1 draw against Sweden with Big Mac in the side.

Not a bad result at all. Well done Big Mac.

That is a great result. Lets hope he man marked Ibrahimovic out of the game

no he played right back

Maybe Kallstrom or Wilhelmson? I know the latter got subbed at HT.

Part of the BBC report for the Norn Iron game...

"Lafferty was well wide with a fourth-minute right foot shot and then Gareth McAuley made a great challenge on Johan Elmander as he bore in on goal."

I watched most of the game. Even at right-back McAuley was impressive, and played a full part in what by some distance was the best performance last night by a home nation.

John O'Neill, commentating for BBC Northern Ireland, was also keen to sing his praises.

hope he gets picked again then.

i am happy for Gary Mac i rate him as a CB and he still has more to come.

just a shame the main commentator didn't realise McAuley was only the stand in captain

[Fez of Mahrez]

I watched the game as well, was a cracking tackle on Elmander but he only had to make it cos he got totally turned around in the right-back position. Needs to play centre-back really, to state the obvious. Difficult when they've got a whole load of players there who are no better or worse than McAuley. Hopefully the result and his performance will give him confidence though.
